This is a question for (e:Paul). I wanted to view the full version of the RPCI Microsoft OWA email client in Chrome but it simply wouldn't allow me. I found these IE extensions for chrome:
1. IE Tab Classic:
2. Chrome IE Tab Multi:
The questions is how do these extensions manage to load the fully featured OWA while native Chrome cannot? Is using these extensions as risky as using IE? How are these extensions working?

Guitar Google DoodleCategory: i-tech
Google doodles keep outdoing themselves all the time and today is the peak of overachieving. They have a FULLY functional guitar with a recording feature as their logo honouring Les Paul, a guitarist and an innovator in music.
Go ahead! Play it! And I can't believe someone (Zack Bernardin) created this masterpiece with a mouse... or a keyboard sequence!
I couldn't create a coherent tune even if I tried!

I found it through colr.org and then through flickr but alas I can't locate the original page again. I usually change back to my solid black in around 3 days but this desktop feels so much more awesome than any I have ever had. The greens are so perfect and the yellow is just so happy!
EDIT: Located the original, after some crooked-logic searching:

Calcium! Calcium!Category: eating in
The best way to beat cramps is by increasing calcium intake. I know that yogurt is the BEST way to get calcium in my diet but I keep forgetting to eat yogurt and end up with the most vicious of cramps.
I can get 80% calcium in one little 8oz serving of Yogurt! I am going to burn this figure into my teeny brain. So the next time I am making excuses about there not being an ideal calcium source, I can come here and see plain facts staring me in face.

I just noticed that the fat-free version has 45% calcium. That is NINETY PERCENT of what I need in a day, served in a teeny 8 oz cup. WHY do I not remember this when it matters the most. Yogurt. Yogurt. Yogurt. Check.

Have you ever tried making kefir at home? My brother is on this kefir kick and keeps extolling its virtues. Next time I visit, I am going to bring home some kefir grains with me to start my own kefir production. I can finally have sour yogurt all the time then. Yogurt at home is very much like Kefir and pretty sour. Here, the yogurt almost tastes like milk.

Neutral Samaritan?Category: opinion
If you hear a massive sound of possibly an automobile accident a few blocks away from your home, do you
a) ignore it and hope no one is injured
b) go out with phone in hand ready to call 911.
c) ignore if it is in the small hours of the night/morning but go out and investigate if it is earlier.
What do you do? I often hear terrible sounds from my flat. Sometimes I have gone out with phone in hand and found nothing and sometimes I have ignored them and felt terribly guilt-wracked when I have heard fire-trucks a whole 15 minutes after.

I think the anxiety of not checking up on people gets to me. I admit that I sometimes block out everything with a ton of music when I need to be working on and finishing stuff.

That's an excellent idea. Next time, I am just going to race up to the roof as fast as I can and scope the street out before I call 911 or go out to help.

You could always just call the police and say you heard a noise. Then again if someone was bleeding out that might take too long. I guess it depends on the severity of the sound. Maybe you could look from the roof patio?

But I don't have IE on my machine at all! The thing is I ripped out the browser when I slipstreamed all of the latest security pathes and drivers into my winxp. I just have the "IE engine". Is the "IE engine", by itself insecure? I guess I don't understand the difference between the IE engine and the browser facade that I ripped out. Is the thing I ripped out just cosmetic?
Its no different I believe. It would be whatever IE is on your machine but it would still be executing the IE engine.
So that tab is not protected by Chrome's security features then and has all the holes and flaws that the typical IE would have? Also, which version of IE is it? How do I find out? Is it chrome's implementation of the latest IE? Does that mean running this extension IE is safer than running the real IE (does that make sense?)
It literally just opens an IE browser in a chrome tab. IE can be embedded in any windows app. Firefox has the same extension.
